Just purchased a Ross Race Series Balancer for the RB25 with 10% under drive on the W/P and 20% on the power steer.

Great price and very easy to deal with.

Ross Performance Parts

:woot:

Very nice

Are you going to dry sump it too?

Just a quick update, i picked up the car from the smash repairers today and i am very happy with the job. All the holes in the roof and the rust has been repaired and it is ready to be fitted out with the cage, so excited.

ha ha, what sunroof??????? did a great job. Project coming along well Ryan, and yes the list of things to do always seems to grow instead of shrink lol. Let me know if you want your oil pan modified while the engine is on the stand. We built a couple of high energy style pans with internal gates and baffeling for RB engines for circuit use, there is a thread somewhere. Just be easy to do it now. Still get a bit worried about oil surge in the standard sump and with the suspension you are running you will see decent corner speeds and braking G forces.

Hope to see it at OP.

this is an old post from when we had the workshop but you can see the sumps, they clear crossmembers etc.

pay no attention to the group buy stuff, but if there is interest its better to do a couple rather than a one off.

Id be keen to see the threads on the oil pans, im contemplating something for mine but dont want to the hassle of fitting a new swaybar with the high energy option.
Looks great!

Did they fully weld the new roof panel?

wondering if they used bog, if it will crack during the stresses of the track, although you will have a cage which will stiffen the whole thing up.

No bog in my car buddy.

He used a poly urethane glue stuff that will give a little i think, you can't weld them completely cause it will deform the entire roof i think. It has been spot welded at a ratio of one spot per inch, Then the poly urethane glue stuff does the rest i think ???

Time will tell if it cracks or not? Fingers crossed it is all sweet.

Well just a quick up date the car has been delivered to Brads to get the cage sorted so hopefully i will have it back in a few weeks to finish painting the inside then it will be full steam ahead re assembling.

I will try and up date some picks along the way.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
